What I do

Engineer by day, artist by night…

I’m a licensed P.E. in WV, and for the last 6 years I’ve supported the Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory as a support contractor at KeyLogic Systems. Day to day I provide project management, conceptual design, data analytic, and UX/UI services for the Project Management Center, the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, the Strategic Center for Coal, and the Office of Research and Development.

I have this obsession toward the capturing and transference of information. Life seems to be all about it, the communication of information… folding it up in efficient ways as to be unfolded/expanded later for interpretation/use. I try to see how much ‘DNA’ I can capture in a photograph/painting, how much information can be folded down onto a plane of presentation, transported from my eye/mind, to then be unraveled/unfolded/expanded by the eyes/minds of those I share my work with.

How I do it

I’m not quite sure, but whatever we end up doing, we get better at it every day. Life is iteration, change…and practice makes perfect.

So, I plan on the unplanned, removing expectation from my work. With that mind, I take away more from an experience (good & bad). There is a raw pleasure that comes from finding things out, and from sharing/communicating the experience.

In general, my work focuses on the dynamic universe, big and small, it’s all so wonderful to think about. I try and capture perspectives that can extend beyond the borders and frames containing them.

Where I live

I live in Morgantown, West Virginia, and explore the world as much as possible. My life has been drawn toward the adventure side of things, anything to do with being outside and closer to the natural world. While I’m a native to the mountain state, I feel this earth is my home. My house is just a well constructed tent…  something my Dad told my Mom once when she was stressing over their house  …”honey, we’re just camping here”
